What’s in it
AI summary If a student moves to a new school district while they are attending a different school through open enrollment, this law changes who pays the costs. Instead of using the student's original home district, the district where the family lives on the official enrollment count date will be responsible for the payments. This rule applies to school years starting on or after July 1, 2021.1

Under the bill, the child’s district of residence as determined on the date of the basic enrollment count for school districts, rather than the child’s first district of residence, shall be responsible for payment of the applicable costs to the receiving district.
